Frustrating searches for the Loch Ness Monster may be at an end after 50 years of trying to find the elusive beast.
Experts are set to use "thermal drones" as a way of scoping out the waters, and should Nessie surface, the infrared cameras will pick up signs of the creature.
Or at least this is the hope of expert Andy McGrath, who believes the underwater drones should have been utilised in the hunt for the Loch's alleged inhabitant sooner.

The findings of a long weekend of research will only serve to inspire further investigations and the promising results from the first ever use of thermal imaging drones are extremely encouraging.
Mr McGrath's breakthrough in thermal technology utilisation should come in handy for those believing they can still find the monster, brought to wider attention way back in 1933.
Recent searches of the waters uncovered an alleged "underground lair" used by the beast, a series of caves in the loch which Nessie may use to keep a low profile.
Scanning the caves and the body of water could be much easier now underwater drones are set to be deployed.

Mr McGrath said: "These thermal drones will allow us to see the loch in infrared – a part of the light spectrum we are not able to see with our naked eyes, and with this equipment we will be able to see immediately if any animal in there breaks the water's surface.
"This thermal imaging technology has been available for several years now, and it seems remarkable that no one has yet deployed such equipment in an effort to investigate this mystery."
Self-proclaimed Nessie-nerd McGrath has his hopes high for what the thermal imaging could bring to monster hunters.
He added: "As a monster hunter, author and yes, a Nessie-nerd, I believe that this historically monumental expedition definitively puts the beast of Loch Ness back on the map!
"The findings of this long weekend of research will only serve to inspire further investigations and the promising results from the first ever use of thermal imaging drones are extremely encouraging."
Mr McGrath's words on the monster come as several eye-witness accounts claimed to have seen unexplained shapes in the waters.
